Over Explaining Choujuu Sentai Liveman

If you haven't seen it, heavy recommend the Liveman tribute episode of Gokaiger. It sums up Liveman so well. All life is precious, but you can't save everyone from themselves. And if you can't save their lives, you may still save their souls.

the monster in that episode was even voiced by Professor Bias' actor.

Thanks to Reddit, Liveman is *severely* underrated despite being the absolute best Showa Sentai ever

[@ginonovanta]

Liveman's the bleakest Sentai I've watched. The monsters where properly scary

[@ElQueSalvaTorres]

I never thought that liveman was this cool. Only watched Jetman for showa Sentai and this seems even better. Great content, keep with this kind of videos, they are great

[@darkadvent610]

Jetman isn't even Showa. Liveman was the last Showa Sentai. Everything from Turboranger onwards is Heisei.

[@248.n_n]

Jetman is not Showa, but hey I understand that you might mean pre-Zyuranger/MMPR sentai. You should give some a chance, Flashman and Liveman are some of my favourite from this era.

[@kfalco]

I'm actually more into super sentai than Power Rangers, tbh, even though super sentai reinvents with every new season. Saban nerfed many sentai material that showed more continuity. Then again, super sentai was for kids and adults whereas PR was only for kids.

[@greninjazac4577]

Is the whole “killing the first two members” the inspiration behind Kanade sacrificing herself in the first episode of symphogear? Because it’s basically the same concept but promotional material actually placed her as a main character before we go “no, you get punchy hamster and Tsubasa going through the 5 stages of grief as a story arc”

THE RETURN I NEEDED LFG!!!

[@Rikarikun]

7:35 - so I have feelings on this. It's not just the Robo that feels like it belongs in the 90s. it's the suits, too. But Since Liveman was the '88-'89 Sentai, I suppose this is to be expected. Sometimes designs in sentai are just ahead of their time in the best way possible (Liveman). I suppose this is why the goseiger suits look like they belong in the 80s though.

[@ChristianAntwan]

I guess it is the last 80s sentai so that actually makes sense.

[@denizbozkurttube9149]

Thank you for making this video because I started watching this show 10 years prior and watching an overview about this is great

[@cynicalfella]

OK, SO I JUST FINISH WATCHING THE SHOW. LIKE LITERALLY JUST SAW THE TURBO RANGER PROMO. Here's my 10¢ to the conversation. MAAAAN, I MISS WHEN SENTAI WAS THIS. I miss when they we SUPER HEROES!! Every episode of Liveman is amazing because it actually shows them caring for people. Modern sentai Kinda dropped that, They don't really save people, they save the universe they're in (which is the same problem movies like The eternals for instance) Super sentai and Kamen Riders aren't really super heroes anymore exactly BECAUSE instead of Saving people they either goof around or play with character drama. You'll never see a Ranger helping a Child who is afraid and wants to become courageous nowadays BECAUSE that takes away from THEIR "Character development" that might be enough for some people but they ARE supposed to be Super heroes, Why are they not saving kids anymore? Why don't we get to know the kids they're saving? Why are they all so... Selfish?? In Liveman I remembered why Sentai used to be so cool. These guys literally get up everyday and fight monsters who Kill people. Zenkaiger ended their shows looking at a Bright Future, But what was the earth saved FROM? Yeah, Nothing. Their meanest monster was like... Putting fart pillows around people. Boonboonger literally starts with a Monster that simply Traps people in wedding dresses. Why would kids in Japan look up at heroes that Don't put their lifes on the line for them? What happened to Go? Dude got shot...3 times and he... apparently survived????? HOW DARE THEY NOT MAKE A FINAL ROLL CALL IN FRONT OF BIAS??? They literally only did a 5men roll call when the 4th and 5th members Arrive...WHY? IT WOULDN'T BEEN PERFECT!!!!!. I love Yusuke, One of my fav reds... But I always forget his name😂😂 I LOVE the BIOMOTION BUSTER theme. Never have I ever hear a Better bazooka theme in my life ALSO, LOVE COLON, she's literally best girl

[@mr.thinmint2848]

Liveman, in my opinion, has the best stretch of ending episodes in all of sentai. Like the late 30's to the last episode. I love how dark it gets. I just wish Bias had a more in depth backstory.

[@digipeeper]

One of my Top 5 Sentai series and it became my favorite due to the gimmick and casting/ chemistry with the characters. You have good taste, a friend of mine likes the series(took him awhile to sit down and watch the series) but still hate the suit and helmets. As this is one of the dark Sentai series that I enjoy(Maskman and Dairanger are the others and yes Jetman is one of them but I am not a fan). Great that you went over quickly all 49 episodes. This series did sort of change my life a bit and my favorite Sentai Femme is Megumi Misaaki(Blue Dolphin). God I fell in love with her and her song Spark! Umi E. Is adrenaline anthem for me. It was a unique series as they were going back to the 3 count with Sun Vulcan and the color/animal basis is very similar. Also between Daisuke Shima(red falcon) and Megumi Mori. The two are well known singers in Japan until the hits stopped before 1988. The 3/5 gathering motif would continue with Hurricangers(even the animals and color is similar and the Academy massacre) with Abaranger, Gekiranger and Gobusters . Cheers and keep up the excellent hard work.

[@LindsayTVFilm]

I really like Liveman’s villain structure. Carantula is Obular’s counterpart and Yodonna Mazenda (even down to be red’s ex and her sacrifice at the end-albiet there’s elements of Kemp’s demise in the concept of it). You would think Shadon would be Ashura, but he’s a bounty hunter who serves a different faction based on Gekiranger’s Summer movie villains who are the end game. I gave Kemp Ikergan’s suit as his final form since Kyuranger is not adapted in its timeline since it begins from Ryusoulger. Also Mabushina dies so Garza’s counterpart, who is Eras’s wife-but we use Yodon’s form and Garza’s final form and the sheep monster from the summer movie are apart of the faction. Minjo is the counterpart of the twin monster. Satan Minosaur is adapted here for Guildos so it and Numanjo are played into lore about Lokar and Scorpina-yet still robots.

[@LindsayTVFilm]

The whole back story is that the faction started having liked drawn, so Garza sent a representative to Planet X (Crystalia) to get crystals to woo Eras and save their relationship, things went south and led to civil war and the extinction of the dinosaurs (which explains both the Dino gems and the Kiramei Crystals on earth. Dino Gems bonded to dinosaurs and the rest bonded to vehicles upon discovery-like Smog Jouki or once their surroundings exhibited a new trait-such as pink’s Zord being a rescue helicopter due to its crash site becoming a hospital)

[@LindsayTVFilm]

50:50 it was just an anti-teen pregnancy episode

[@LindsayTVFilm]

1:26:40 I think Ako from Jetman is also catholic, or at least goes to a catholic school

[@LindsayTVFilm]

I find it ironic that Mazenda turns herself into a cyborg where Bias created two cyborgs. I really ran with that for Numanjo’s counterpart, especially since we make this more about the females villains and the females rangers. In the end, it’s Goh/Carantula who tries to protect her by trying to transform via the Hornet Crystal, but fails to even get as far as Mari and Takuji in the process. His story is about find a community that accepts him for who he is (since he’s an exiled queer) that Mazenda’s counterpart takes pity on him (Kemp’s counterpart has a family history of crime so she sees him as useful and a potential foil to her and the boss)
